Sheldon Keefe has been dismissed as the head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs, a decision that has been the subject of considerable speculation and discussion. The Leafs' management, led by Treliving, expressed that while Keefe is a talented coach, a new direction was necessary to achieve the team's goals. The announcement was made following a meeting where the management concluded that a change was needed to push the team towards ultimate success. Craig Berube, a free agent coach, has been mentioned as a potential replacement, having previously told @thegoldenmuzzy and @Jay_D_Rosehill it would be an 'honour' to coach the Toronto Maple Leafs. The coaching change has sparked a wide reaction, with many noting Keefe's professionalism and hoping he returns to coaching soon.
